Comfort and Drivability are amazing.
I love almost everything about my vehicle. It is very spacious. The Drivability is amazing as it rides very smoothly and the cabin is very quiet. For the cost and brand of the vehicle the info/entertainment system seems to be antiquated compared to other vehicles in its category.

Perfect for your family of any size!
I love my qx80 because it drives like a car. I do not feel like I am driving the huge SUV that it is. I do not love getting in to the third row. However, my kids do not mind the climbing. I spend a lot of time toting my kids around from activity to activity, and the comfort of the car helps!

It does not have a any trunk space if seating 8 people.
It is reliable, luxurious and comfortable. I like how it sits up high and can seat 8 people comfortably.

Large. Comfortable. Reliable.
This car is very large and also very comfortable. It has so much room in the back. There are not a lot of blind spots. It is easy to park once you get used to it. We really enjoy our car and would purchase it again if needed. I definitely highly recommend

Great luxury vehicle that is extremely comfortable and smooth driving.
The qx80 is a true luxury car. It is very comfortable and drives nicely. I have 50k miles on my car and have not had any problems yet. My only complaint is that the gas tank is small for a car of that size. I previously had a suburban which got the same gas mileage as the qx80, but the tank was 10 gallons larger.

It takes a lot of gas so it is definitely a gas guzzler.
I love that it is big and if we were ever in a wreck my kids would be safe. I love the color if it, its a pearly white. I love all the space. I dislike how slowly the seats fold down in the 3rd row. It takes forever.

Infiniti QX 35 in the color blue.
The car is pretty nice, I only go to Infiniti to get any oil changes, the tires are very good, they do not slip, the car runs very smooth and it does not have any loud noise

The pros and cons of having an infinity.
The engine is working poorly sometimes we have to jumpstart our car... If we leave the car on for too long without driving. The good thing is that it is avoid family car it is big enough for a family of 7. It is also very comfortable for families it also has entertainment like TV for long road trips which is very useful for big families.

The perfect car for you!
Not a car for a family though I would recommend a more of SUV type as they run a little bigger. I will say the car is good on gas and will get you anywhere you need to be. I haven't had any problems with this car and I have had it for a couple years now.

Qx80 is it worth keeping?
Have been having major reliability issues. Car hesitates to start on occasion. I am worried I will be stranded. I love the size of the back seat, comfort and enjoy sitting up high. Love the technology and features. But the reliability issue is making me consider a new vehicle.

Pros and cons of the q 80.
No bench seat in second row. Difficult to park boxy but seats 7. Luxury interior drives smooth. Very safe and has great power. Exterior is gorgeous as far as appearances and quality is all high end. Plenty of legroom and leather interior. Average gas mileage.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Mike T.

This vehicle is fully loaded and low mileage in excellent condition. There are no negative comments to make concerning the current condition of this vehicle. It has never been in any accidents or had any body damage requiring being taken to a body shop, and has been maintained in strict accordance with all manufacturers recommended maintenance guidelines.

likeFilled Suzanne W.

Leather interior and very spacious. The seats are heated. The seats are very comfortable with cushion seating. All of the seating is very spacious. It does not make you feel cramped. There is plenty of legroom. The only negative is the gas mileage. This vehicle does not get good gas mileage.

likeFilled Teka R.

Ride smooth and great maneuverability. The vehicle is very comfortable. The vehicle is not bad on gas gravity to be such a large vehicle. I love the sleek and sec look of the vehicle. I love the climate control features.

likeFilled Jessica G.

I like that it is comfortable and the versatility. The fact that it is a large size allows for carrying large loads and slows to transport a large number of passengers. The rear leg room is also great.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Mike T.

None, concerning this vehicle. The recommended manufacturers maintenance guidelines have been strictly adhered to, and records are available for any potential buyer to review. Additionally, this vehicle has never needed to be taken to an auto body shop and is in its original factory condition.

dislikeFilled Suzanne W.

The gas mileage is horrible. That is really the only negative about this vehicle. Road trips are expensive! Maybe another negative is learning how to work all of the technology in this vehicle. It is very time consuming and you cannot really do it while you are driving.

dislikeFilled Teka R.

The entertainment system is very outdated. The Infiniti connection systems and app barely works. For the price you pay for the vehicle it's ridiculous that you cannot use the app for anything. The touch screen also needs to be updated.

dislikeFilled Jessica G.

The size makes parking difficult. It does not get great gas mileage. It did not come with any kind of visor to pull up on the back windows. My previous vehicle had that and it was helpful with young children.
